🎧 PodLearn for Claude Code
Stop listening. Start learning.
The podcast & video knowledge engine, right inside Claude Code. Drop a link. Get a verbatim transcript, a searchable archive, and an AI lesson in seconds.
Some of the best thinking on the planet is locked inside hours of audio you'll never have time for. PodLearn unlocks it. Hand Claude any podcast or YouTube URL and it transcribes the whole thing (yes, even long talks with no captions), makes every word searchable, and distills the ideas into a structured lesson. No tab-switching, no copy-paste, no "I'll get to it later."
One install adds the PodLearn skill and MCP server to Claude Code. The skill handles the routing; the MCP does the work. You just talk.
✨ Why people use it
- ⏱️ Hours → minutes. A 2-hour interview becomes a transcript + lesson you skim in five.
- 🔎 Find the exact moment. Full-text search across every transcript, with citations. "Where did they talk about pricing?" jumps you straight there.
- ▶️ YouTube that actually works. Paste any video, captions or not. Conference talks, lectures, channel deep-dives, all transcribed natively.
- 📚 Bulk a whole season. transcribe_feed ingests an entire podcast feed in one shot, not episode-by-episode.
- 🧠 Lessons, not just text. Auto-generated key takeaways and structured notes you can act on.
- 🤖 Agent-native. It's a real MCP server, so every call composes with the rest of your Claude workflow (turn a lesson into a LinkedIn post, feed quotes into a doc, whatever).
💬 What you can ask
"What podcasts do you have about AI agents?"
"Transcribe this and make me a lesson: ‹youtube or podcast URL›"
"Find the best quotes about pricing from ‹episode›"
"Transcribe the last 10 episodes of ‹podcast› and summarize the themes."
"Turn that lesson into a LinkedIn post."
⚡ Install (60 seconds)
1. Grab your token (free, 2 credits to try) at podlearn.ai/settings — a plmcp… token. Keep it handy.
2. Add the marketplace — in Claude Code (run this on its own, wait for confirmation):
/plugin marketplace add blutrich/podlearn-plugin3. Install the plugin — then run:
/plugin install podlearn@podlearn⚠️ Run them one at a time — they're two separate slash commands. Pasting
both lines at once makes Claude treat the second as part of the first.
4. Paste your token when prompted. Claude Code asks for your PodLearn MCP token on install. It's stored in your system keychain (never a settings file, never an env var), and the bundled MCP authenticates automatically — no separate claude mcp add, the plugin registers the server for you.
5. Restart Claude Code (or claude reload) and start asking.
That's it. The plugin ships the skill and the MCP, so there's no separate claude mcp add step and nothing to wire up by hand.
